I wouldnt wet sand yet. Try the wheel with the Black, and also try the Nuvite F9 with a wool buffer pad. I've had different parts of the AS respond differently, where one method works better than another for some reason.

Its a hard call just by a picture.. Our Overlander had a bad case but yours looks ,,, well awful.

I used some 600 grit wet/dry paper with constant water flow by hand.. Then moved to 1200,, then 1600... Just went slow and careful.. After I had things leveled out then I got out the buffer wheel and started again with course, mid and never got too the fine yet. Ours looks good from the 20 yard distance..

Just do not use a lot of pressure.. Just float the paper over the area in a very small area first to test out the idea... Good luck...

I am thinking of a permanent guard to cover our front as we spend too much time on sand roads.. One draw back of country living. Sodbust

Our PO used the trailer for hunting which means a lot of traveling over gravel roads. Snaps around the front tells me that he once had a 'bra' across the lower front. I'm sure the bra must have been easily destroyed from the machine gunning of gravel because the aluminum had a lot of rash. I worked gradually up to 3000 grit wet paper and removed much of the fine rash but the deep nicks remained. After sanding I used Nuvite starting with F7 all the way to S with my Cyclo buffer. I did not expect the deep nicks would be eliminated but the majority of the rash is gone and the shine overwhelms the remaining damage.

Has anyone tried the 3M Paint Defender clear spray on rock guard (or a similar product)? It looks like it should do the trick to prevent the sand/gravel pits on the front. The website says that it can be easily removed as well.
